Meta Shares Latest Numbers on Rules Enforcement, Including Abuse and Terror-Related Content and Fake Profiles
Meta has published its Community Standards Enforcement Report for Q1 2022, which provides an overview of its ongoing efforts to detect misuse and abuse in its apps, and address such via evolving detection and removal processes.
And those efforts do appear to be having an impact – first off, on bullying and harassment, Meta says that it increased its proactive detection rate on such content from 58.8% in Q4 2021 to 67% in Q1 2022, via improvement of its detection technology.
This is a key area of focus, particularly on Instagram, where research has shown that younger users can suffer serious psychological impacts from in-stream comments and criticisms, and abuse from peers. As such, it’s good to see Meta’s systems evolving in this respect, which could help to provide more support and assistance for those facing such challenges.
Though, concerningly, it has also seen a rise in suicide and self-harm content on Instagram over the past two quarters.

Meta also says that it removed 1.8 billion pieces of spam content in Q1, up from 1.2 billion in Q4 2021, ‘due actions on a small number of users making a large volume of violating posts’.
It’s also taking more action on terrorism and organized hate, with enforcement numbers increasing on both Facebook and Instagram.

Meta says that views of violating content that contains terrorism are very infrequent, with most removed before people see it.
“In Q1 2022, the upper limit was 0.05% for violations of our policy for terrorism on Facebook. This means that out of every 10,000 views of content on Facebook, we estimate no more than 5 of those views contained content that violated the policy.”
Even so, it is worth noting this rise in detection and enforcement, on both Facebook and IG.
Also, don’t show this to Elon:

Meta removed 1.6 billion fake accounts in Q1 2022, while its rate of fake profiles remains steady.
“We estimate that fake accounts represented approximately 5% of our worldwide monthly active users (MAU) on Facebook during Q1 2022.”
Which is the exact same percentage of fake profiles that Twitter has reported forever, and has now become a key focus in Elon Musk’s takeover offer for the app.
It’s interesting to note that this 5% figure almost seems like an agreed upon industry norm, with the actual numbers impossible to fully determine. Similar to Twitter, Meta would likely conduct sampling to measure the rate of fakes, but it’ll be interesting to see if, when pressed, Twitter is forced to come up with a more accurate, in-depth profile of fake account activity in its app.
Either way, Meta’s stats are up to industry standard, according to a new audit by EY, which found that its enforcement metrics were ‘fairly stated’, and its internal controls are ‘suitably designed and operating effectively’.
That, presumably, applies to fake account numbers as well, which may mean that 5% is indeed an acceptable estimate, based on the data available.
Whether that provides more assurance or not is likely down to your personal perspective, but Meta has now had its data tracking processes independently assessed, which should add more weight to its numbers.

New Guide Highlights Key Considerations for Effective TikTok Ads

Looking to make TikTok a bigger focus of your marketing effort in 2024?
This will help. TikTok recently partnered with creator intelligence platform CreatorIQ to conduct an analysis of the key factors that make for a resonant TikTok promotion, culminating in a 26-page report which covers a range of key notes and tips for your planning.
You can download CreatorIQ’s full TikTok ads guide here, but in this post, we’ll look at some of the key notes.
The report is broken up into five key pillars of TikTok ads creation, which echo much of the best advice that’s been shared for the platform over time.
CreatorIQ’s five key TikTok marketing notes are:
- Grab attention from the start
- Foster a personal connection
- Show your product in action
- Use high-impact creative elements
- Close with a clear call to action
For each of these elements, the guide digs deeper into how to enact them, and the critical considerations of each, including stats on effectiveness:
Tips on TikTok-specific trends and tools:

As well as case study examples to underline each point:

It’s a handy overview, with a range of valuable notes, though the main finding, above all of the creative pointers and advice, is that established creators perform better for TikTok promotions.
As per CreatorIQ:
“The report found that creators overwhelmingly make the best-performing TikTok ads, with recommendations carrying more weight than traditional brand advertisements and celebrity spokespeople. In fact, after watching a creator-driven Spark Ad, 57% of TikTok community members say the creator is trustworthy, 56% say they can trust the brand because the creator shared it, and 71% say creator authenticity led them to buy a product.”
So while there are a heap of practical notes and pointers for increasing the resonance of your in-app promotions – like this:

The key point of emphasis is that creators make better TikToks, and thus, better ads, so partnering with relevant influencers in your niche is still likely a better way to go.
Some good considerations, and some valuable, data-backed tips, which could help to get your TikTok promotion plan on the right track in the new year.

Looking for creative inspiration for your 2024 strategic planning?
This will help. Today, Adobe has published its annual Creative Trends Report, which incorporates insights from Adobe’s 30 million+ Creative Cloud users, in order to determine rising visual styles of interest, which look set to resonate with audiences in the new year.
Based on its research, the Adobe team has established four creative trends that are worthy of note:
- Calming Rhythms – Fluid and flowing forms that soothe the senses and support emotional balance
- Wonder and Joy – Visuals that inspire a sense of awe, joy, and enchantment
- Dynamic Dimensions – Where all dimensions and types of content seamlessly merge
- The New Nostalgia – Contemporary interpretations of vintage styles
Adobe’s 22-page report, which you can download here (with email sign-up), provides more insight into each of these trends, along with various examples, and data that explains why they’re set to gain more momentum.
There are handy notes and insights for each, which help to illustrate how to use them in your process.

Interestingly, a lot of the images used by Adobe in the report look like they’ve been created by generative AI. I don’t know that they have, but it is worth noting the composition in this regard, as another potential means to tap into these trends.

The report provides some interesting perspective on rising visual trends, which could help in your planning. Maybe one of these resonates especially well with your branding, or aligns with what your target audience has been sharing.
Either way, some additional, data-backed considerations, which could be helpful in your process.
